Hello!! Please allow me to introduce myself; my name is Kate and I am an Ohio native. I'll be taking my first full time job in June, (truly living on my own for the first time, too!), and think it's about time for me to own a handgun. This weapon would be for home protection.
I am thinking, for my first gun purchase, about a Sig P220 Equinox. I shot one at the range today and absolutely fell in love. I had my heart set on a Colt .45, but the .40 fit my hand much better (and didn't knock me backwards!). It was the most comfortable large caliber weapon I shot today. Any thoughts on the Sig P220? What else should I be looking at - is there something better for home defense? Dose anyone own one?
Another problem - I'm left handed. I didn't even think to ask the shop if there was a left handed model. Can a lefty shoot a right handed weapon, or will I always be hindered because the safety and other levers are on the wrong side?
Oh yes, and I have enrolled in a safety class. Starts in two weeks!
Thank you so much for reading! Look forward to "meeting" ya all!
Cheers
Kate
